Forcing the motherF***ing water down!

[The redhead 9]

Today marks almost the end of my first week of my 30day workout challenge. it also is the first day I was able to drink an entire bottle of Water in less than an hour. I have been thirsty like I am going to die for over a month. Water taste awful now, makes me feel very queasy and goes down "hard"no matter what I mixed it with. I decided a week ago I am not going to die if I drink it anyways and I don't want to be dehydrated anymore. I figured the worst case was I would throw it up and then drink some more. Turns out It just sucks going down and then I feel great I have only lost about 40 lbs from surgery and about 56 from my highest consistent weight but I am down from a size 20/22 to a 15/16 I am very pleased and I am hoping by focusing on getting more fluids in that the weight-loss and my stamina will remain steady a little longer. (and no I am not hurting myself by making myself drink more water than makes me feel queasy and yes my doctor knows and wants more water for me)

I hike up a trail this week and it felt amazing! the ledge in the photo is where i hiked up to! it was brutal but awesome

I added some current pics...I tried to find befores to add but I found myself so disappointed I couldn't look directly at the screen sorry maybe in the future.

Love your title! It could be my daily anthem....

I've started using a straw which has helped...for some reason it goes down easier and quicker....

Where is the location of your hike? Looks like a beautiful area..

I love straws and my Doctor said they are not a big deal, they help get everything down its North Bend WA

Seems like your taking charge and winning! You're looking great and hiking is such a wonderful workout! I love the pictures your posted... but I must admit I'm kinda jealous... I have two feet of snow in my back yard!

I started pouring my bottle into a plastic cup.it went alot easier

I feel ya! I have started buying the 8oz bottles because it just seems easier to get down. I USED to luv drinking Water and never had issues but it's different now. I have tried crystal light and mio but everything just tastes too sweet:-\ I guess it's a good problem to have because I don't crave anything sweet at all. Makes me nauseous. ..I luv ur pics! I live in the tx panhandle...nothing pretty here!! Congrats on ur weightloss!!

highest weight 224#<br />sx weight 212# (11/20/12)<br />current weight 180#(2/8)

I had a problem with Water going down "hard" to. I bought the mini water bottle with the squirt sport tops and it helped a lot. I guess just squirting it in my mouth gives me better sized sips and way less air. So far it has helped tremendously.

Well congrats girl, you look great. As far as the Water have you tried varying temperatures? I usually can only drink room temperature.

[The redhead 9]

I have tried, I prefer warmer Water, ice cold taste better but my stomach is not happy when I drink cold stuff right now I love the mini water bottle idea I need to try that! You all are awesome thank you

I drink unsweetened tea with a little Splenda. Dr said it was fine.

Rattlesnake, one of my faves and is getting easier every time and always worth the mini view:)

You definitely do not want to get dehydrated! I just returned home from a four day hospital stay for dehydration. Not fun! However, they hydrated me to the max, where I now have to take a Water pill for a few days to relieve the swelling in my legs, ankles, and feet! Go figure!
